Re: Colorvision RGB Profiler; good or bad???

Diana,

Just want to report that your method for removing the green cast really
works well for me. I also added contrast and saturation to compensate for
the Lysonic ink and Somerset Velvet paper I am presently using. Two of my
most difficult images came out with brilliant colors. Now I still have to
work on to get the blue/purples to come out true, right now I keep getting
magenta instead.

Thanks for your suggestions. Also not checking the "show edits in preview"
box while editing profiles suggested by others is a big help.
